Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Daisy's POV

The blaring of a car horn made me jump and skidded off the road,

"Get your death wish somewhere else" the driver cursed, bringing out his head from the side mirror before driving off, today, I had decided to go for a job hunt, I can't keep relying on the pocket money that Celine's dad do give to me whenever he feels like, sometimes, he gives me just once in two months and it's usually little that I can hardly get everything I need, it's Celine that does not ever lack anything, in fact, she has enough money to squander but I don't hold it against him anyways, I know that he still can't stand the sight of me after his beloved wife died because of me, I saw a poster of vacancy outside a hamburger shop and I decided to try my luck, I met the owner of the shop and nervously made my intention known but was told that the position has just been taking up, hence, there's no more vacancy, I sighed as I left the place, who would have thought that getting a job will be so much stress, I decided to go home and rest, I haven't even done my school assignment, tomorrow, I Will continue with my job hunt, hopefully, it will yield fruit.

I entered the house and slowly walked up to my room, I was about to enter my room when I heard a noise coming from Celine's room, I frowned, could it be that she was home? She's seldom at home, she comes back home whenever she feels like it and leaves when she feels like it too, I shook my head, I must be hearing things, I opened my door when I heard the noise again, without thinking, I went to her room which was closed and turned the knob and it opened, I stared inside the room and a soft gasp left my mouth, my eyes widened at what was before me, Aires is in the room with Celine sitting on his lap, they were kissing passionately, although, Aires was still dressed but Celine wore a cloth that spells seduction, my heart pierced at the sight of them,

"What the heck are you staring at" Celine clenched out and I realized that I was still standing there like a zombie and gaping at them, I quickly banged the door shut and ran to my room, tears clouded my vision, I cursed myself over and over again, of course, they will be doing this frequently, they are dating, why would he make me do kinds of stuff with him when he has Celine in his life, Celine should be the one sucking his penis and swallowing his sperm, not me, I thought of how he almost made me reach orgasm the other day, I haven't been able to get the picture out of my head, I punched my pillow severally, what a fool I am, I will never allow him to intimidate me ever again, I coiled myself in a ball and lay down as unwanted tears ran down my cheeks.

That evening, I decided to go downstairs to get a cup of coffee and I bumped into Celine on the way, I bet Aires would have long gone, she smiled wickedly when she saw me,

"Your eyes are swollen, have you been crying?" She asked as she smirked in satisfaction, staring at me,

Oh yeah? When did she start caring? I made to reply to her as I made to walk past her but she blocked my path by standing in front of me,

"You think because he ordered a box of chocolate for you the other day that he might actually feel something for you, to him, you're nothing but a slut who deserves to be punished" she whispered maliciously,

I told myself not to be hurt by her words but I just couldn't help it, tears stung my eyes, and I suddenly don't feel like having a cup of coffee anymore, without another word to her, I turned to go back to my room but she grabbed my hand from behind,

"One more thing before you leave" I turned to stare at her, "don't even think you have a chance with Aires, you better snap out of it because Aires is mine and I won't let him go", I swallowed and nodded slowly, I'm only good to be bullied while she deserves to be treated as the princess, slowly I walked to my room and shut the door firmly behind me.

******************************************

I shuffle off from the class as soon as the bell rang for closing,

"Hey Daisy, wait up, what's wrong with you? You've been acting up all day" Desiree called out, running after me,

"I'm just feeling under the weather Desiree"

"How come?" She looked at me curiously and I averted my gaze and shrugged

"Just like that, I need to go before Aires shows up, I don't want to see him"

"You avoided him when he sent for you during break, don't you think you're putting yourself in more trouble with him"

My heart skipped at the remainder, I had dared not to answer to him when he had sent for me during break, I can't begin to imagine what punishment awaits me, I haven't been myself since I saw him kissing Celine yesterday, it hurts so bad, I know that I'm such a fool for still loving him despite everything he's doing to me but I just can't help it, I want to hate him so badly but my heart just won't obey me, right now, all I know is that I don't want to see him.

"There you are" he drawled and I snapped out of my thoughts, Desiree quickly scurried away leaving me alone at his mercy, he was leaning against a post with legs and arms crossed, he held a little smile on his lips but his eyes were far from smiling, my heart skidded to a stop for a moment before it resumes beating heavily, I turned around to walk away from him,

"Don't you even think about it" he warned and I shivered at the steel in his voice, why won't he just go away and leave me? He unfolded his frame from the post and walked towards me, he gritted his teeth when he was finally standing right in front of me and his stormy grey eyes bored into mine

"You're coming with me right now" before I could even think of refuting, he grabbed my hands and dragged me along with him to his car, pushed me into the passenger seat, and locked it before I could even think to open it, then he went around and sat in the driver's seat,

"Let me out", I ordered even though my heart was pounding fearfully, I won't let him see the fear in me,

"I see you've got some guts, I like that because I will enjoy breaking this newfound gut of yours"

"Why do you like tormenting me, you bully me, made me do nasty things with you but go about kissing other ladies"

He stared at me, his expression unreadable, "I did not make you do anything that you didn't enjoy doing "

"Of course, I do not enjoy it, I only want to be left alone by a bully like you"

His hand gripped my jaw painfully, "not another word from you, and relax because you cannot get rid of me in your life" he started the ignition of the car and started driving us to God knows where,

"How come you can kiss any girl you want and I'm not allowed to even talk to any guy, it's not fair"

"Nothing is fair in life"

"Well that's for you because henceforth, I'll go out with any guy that I wished to and talk to whoever I want to" his car screeched to a halt and I would have hit my head on the dashboard if not for my seatbelt

"Don't you dare, you have no idea what I'll do to you if I see you with any guy" the tone of his voice sent chills down my spine, the color of his eyes has changed to that molten color it usually changed to whenever he is super angry, I swallowed and my heart raced in fear

"Aires, I...I..."

"Don't dare me Daisy" he whispered and slowly ran his fingers from my forehead to my chin, I felt so afraid to say another word that will contradict him, I swallowed,

"Please don't hurt me" I begged, a flicker of emotion crossed his face, and then it was gone

"When you disobey your owner, you deserve to get punished"

"B...b.. but"

"Not another word Daisy, don't even think about it, you're mine, I own you," he said harshly I shivered at his tone, he was breathing unevenly, "you're mine" he repeated before covering my lips with his.
